This is one incredible remote controlled helicopter. I can’t imagine the cost of putting this together or the skills required to fly it like this video shows.

Boring nerd info:

The Mil Mi-24 (NATO reporting name “Hind”) is a large helicopter gunship and low-capacity troop transport produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and operated from 1972 by the Soviet Air Force, its successors, and over thirty other nations.

The Mi-24 Assault helicopter is manned by two crew seated in tandem fully armored cockpits with bullet proof front glass.
